The second in this series finds Bailiff Simon Puttock and former Templar knight Sir Balwdin Furnshill again embroiled in murder in not so sleepy Devon. Agatha Kyteler, a local midwife and healer, regarded with superstition by the local villagers, is found with her throat slit. The two are called to find the guilty party and as they search, suspicion falls on a local lad who eventually confesses. Sir Baldwin and Simon are not convinced of his guilt and during their further investigations suspicions switch from their original suspect to many others, all who seem to have had motive and opportunity to commit the murder.

Really enjoyed this one. Found myself up late continuing to read as the mystery deepened. The characters are well written. Michael Jeck's descriptions of the landscape and his knowledge of medieval life, bring the stories to life. The plot is excellent. Just when you think you've got it sussed, there are new twists and turns. The ending too is unexpected. Just what a good murder mystery should deliver. Excellent read and recommended for all fans of Medieval murder mysteries.The Merchant's Partner (A Medieval West Country Mystery)
